The Sustainable IT application works with ESG Management and Hardware Asset Management to help you:
- Meet regulatory, customer, and investor ESG reporting requirements
- Map and track the environmental impact of your IT assets
- Manage the carbon cost of IT assets and other Sustainable IT metrics, including pre-built metrics from SustainableIT.org (requires downloading the Content Accelerator Application separately)
- Demonstrate quantifiable impact from sustainable IT initiatives and investments.
You can expedite the initiation of relevant data collection, automate tracking, and simplify reporting of high-impact sustainability metrics related to hardware assets and data centers. Integrated data collection and workflows help customers meet energy and carbon reduction goals, as well as regulatory requirements related to IT operations, IT-related carbon emissions, and water use.
With better visibility into activities and performance, including an IT Asset Executive Dashboard, IT sustainability leaders can reduce their carbon, waste, water, and energy impacts. The Sustainable IT application is a crucial tool amid climate change, enabling visualization of intervention opportunities, addressing stakeholder inquiries, and integrating IT seamlessly into corporate-wide ESG monitoring, management, and reporting processes. When used with ServiceNow Hardware Asset Management, the tool helps you incorporate more environmentally friendly practices and controls into the asset management lifecycle.
